740 is not about making money, it's about earning hearts and minds
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e suddenly stopped talking, Cao Zhiqiang no longer continued to be aggressive, but poured tea and drank tea by himself.
In fact, the answer is not important, he just doesn't like Lou Xiao'e's attitude of elders teaching juniors.
That's right, from a realistic point of view, Lou Xiao'e is indeed Cao Zhiqiang's elder, but no matter what, it has nothing to do with herself, at most she is just an aunt she knows.
An aunt she knew, but with a condescending attitude, taught Cao Zhiqiang a lesson as a junior, telling him to do this and do that, which is really uncomfortable.
Maybe others think it's nothing, but Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like it.
It's just that it's not good to go back directly, so Cao Zhiqiang used this way to change the topic, and by the way, he responded to Lou Xiao'e.
At the very least, Cao Zhiqiang wants to let the other party understand that the two sides are now an equal cooperative relationship, not a relationship between elders and juniors.
If Lou Xiao'e still can't figure out the position of the two sides, then Cao Zhiqiang may have to choose another partner.
Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't have to cooperate with Lou Xiao'e.
Looking for Lou Xiao'e, just because I have cooperated in the past, it is relatively convenient.
But in fact, if there is no Lou Xiao'e, Cao Zhiqiang can still find a partner, just spend money.
As for whether it is reliable or not, it really doesn't matter.
As long as you hide it well and the contract is done well, there is basically no problem.
For example, the relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin, as long as the two parties don't say it, before the paternity test is done, who can know that Zhu Lin's child is his?
Therefore, for the current Cao Zhiqiang, Lou Xiao'e is important, but not so important.
If Lou Xiao'e thinks that with that friendship, she can teach Cao Zhiqiang casually and teach him to do things casually, then she is very wrong.
However, considering that Lou Xiao'e had no malicious intentions and really helped him a lot, Cao Zhiqiang did not directly slap his face, but fought back with a stupid matter.
At least, taking the matter of Silly Zhu can make Lou Xiao'e upset, and then stop pestering him and Zhu Lin.
Just when Cao Zhiqiang began to drink the third cup of tea, Lou Xiao'e, who had been silent, finally raised her head and spoke.
"Zhiqiang, it seems that you know a lot about me, have you investigated me?"
Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled: "Aunt Lou, you think too much, how can I have the kung fu and energy to investigate you?" I'm just making a reasonable guess based on the current situation. ”
Well, Cao Zhiqiang's words are false.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang, as a post-90s generation in his previous life, did not understand many things in this era at all.
The reason why he knows so much is purely from the process of working backwards from the results.
In other words, someone first investigated Lou Xiao'e's situation and knew about her business, and then based on this situation, they learned about the current domestic import and export situation.
It's just that it was not Cao Zhiqiang himself who investigated this matter, but Uncle Lin.
Strictly speaking, since Cao Zhiqiang had contact with Lou Xiao'e and had a transaction, Uncle Lin began to pay close attention to Lou Xiao'e and launched a detailed and secret investigation of Lou Xiao'e.
Although China is still relatively poor, and the overall secret service force has no sense of existence in the international community, it is still a national system after all.
It is still very easy to investigate the situation of a Xiangjiang person with the National Power Zone.
That's right, it was Uncle Lin's people who investigated Lou Xiao'e in detail, and through Xu Chun, he quietly told Cao Zhiqiang, and Cao Zhiqiang knew what Lou Xiao'e's specific business was.
It can be seen from this that the domestic high-level should be well aware of the situation of certain "parallel transactions" in the south of the country, and they are not ignorant at all.
It's just that it may be due to various considerations that I temporarily turn a blind eye.
Of course, it is also possible that I didn't know about it before, but through investigating Lou Xiao'e, and then following the vine, I learned about the situation.
What is going on, Cao Zhiqiang is not clear.
Anyway, what Cao Zhiqiang knows is that Lou Xiao'e's business is not illegal, but it is not compliant.
Because from a legal point of view, Lou Xiao'e only received the goods in Xiangjiang and did not directly intervene in inland transactions.
And the part of the inland transaction, that is, the people who shipped to Lou Xiao'e, are all inlanders, and they are the ones who bear the main risks and illegal operations.
In this way, on the surface, Lou Xiao'e is not illegal in the mainland, after all, she is just a consignee.
At most, Lou Xiao'e was irregular when she received the goods, but that could only be handled by the Xiangjiang government.
As long as the Xiangjiang government thinks there is no problem, then Lou Xiao'e will have no problem.
But in any case, this is also a loophole behavior, and it is certainly not right.
It is no wonder that Lou Xiao'e always runs to the capital, the reason is that she wants to know the latest news here, especially the first-hand news about import and export control, so as to avoid her own losses.
Because Lou Xiao'e also knows very well that this almost unsupervised situation in China will not last long, and sooner or later it will have to be re-managed.
Once the supervision is re-strengthened, Lou Xiao'e will not be able to continue to do this kind of business smoothly, and she must transform early, or find another way to avoid losses.
Of course, it does not mean that after the domestic supervision is strengthened, there are still people who continue to do this kind of parallel business, but at that time, they still do it, which is a proper criminal act against the domestic government.
Lou Xiao'e is just a businessman, she may take advantage of loopholes, but let her directly break the law, she still can't do it.
"Well, I'll just take you as a speculator." Lou Xiao'e nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Aunt Lou, I'm not blaming you, after all, what you did is not strictly speaking, it is not illegal, at least not for now."
I wonder if you are the most anxious to make money and the most in need of cash flow.
In that case, why do you want to spend money to buy my restaurant and partner with Uncle Silly?
Don't tell me anything stupid is valuable.
No matter how valuable he is, he is only worth being a good cook.
But whether a restaurant's business is good or not depends on the quality of the cook.
Even if it is a cook, there are good cooks in the capital, and there are better cooks than the stupid uncle.
Therefore, what you did in the capital is probably the drunkard's intention not to drink.
You're not doing that to make money, you're trying to win hearts and minds, right? ”
Lou Xiao'e smiled faintly and shook her head, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then smashed her mouth: "This tea is cold, and sure enough, the taste is a little worse." ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and picked up the teapot: "Then I'll bring you a cup?" ”
"Okay." Lou Xiao'e put down the teacup and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang.
Waiting for Cao Zhiqiang to pour Lou Xiao'e another cup of tea, Lou Xiao'e picked it up and took a sip gently, then nodded and said, "It's much better, it's still hot tea." ”
Cao Zhiqiang also smiled: "If you like it, it's fine." ”
"Of course I do." Lou Xiao'e put down the teacup and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang, "After all, it's an authentic big red robe!" ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled again, and then did not answer.
Because he knew that Lou Xiao'e was just using this way to ease the atmosphere between each other, and then he took the opportunity to readjust his thinking and think about what to say next.
In that case, of course he has to cooperate well.
After taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e didn't look at Cao Zhiqiang, but looked to the side, and said with a look of falling into memory:
"That's right, I admit that the last time I took my son to find Silly Zhu, it was indeed my selfishness.
And I bought your restaurant, not entirely for commercial gain, but more for feelings. ”
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "For the sake of feelings, I can understand, after all, you have just divorced, and your relationship is in a window period, and you want to find a relationship to make up for it, which is reasonable."
But what I can't understand, it's been so long, you and your ex-husband have a child, why do you have to go back to find a stupid uncle?
Don't you know that your current life is completely different from your stupid uncle's life?
Uncle Silly is still the same Uncle Lou, but you are no longer the original Aunt Lou.
Whether it is knowledge or living habits, you and Uncle Silly are completely different.
Let's not mention that Uncle Silly is not divorced yet, and he is still responsible for Aunt Qin.
Let's just say that Uncle Silly is really willing to be a negative man, and he is really willing to divorce Aunt Qin, and then return to you and be with you.
In that case, do you think it's really good?
Do you think that the three views of the current stupid uncle and the current you can still be the same?
Do you really think that you can still get used to the living habits of your stupid uncle?
Don't rush to answer just yet.
Anyway, in the eyes of me, a bystander, the current you and the current stupid uncle are no longer at all the way.
The stupid uncle is still the little worker who walks the streets and alleys, is uneven, and gets by.
And you, now you are a charming Hong Kong sister, a shrewd and capable businessman.
One day, one earth, you are barely together, except to make up for your regrets back then, what else can you have?
I believe that the reason why you still miss your stupid uncle is that you are alone now, and your relationship is in a window period, and you are a little lonely and lonely.
Then you had regrets about him back then, and now you are stronger, and you want to make up for your regrets.
But I would like to advise you not to do that.
After doing this, you will only ruin Uncle Silly and Aunt Qin's family, and then you will not be able to live a good life.
Don't say you and Uncle Silly have a son.
It's nothing.
What's more, you are not only the son of Uncle Silly, you also have children born with others.
Therefore, if you and Uncle Silly are reunited, they will be a halfway couple, and there will be many problems.
With the temperament of you and your stupid uncle, if you really walk together, it will be better at the beginning, after all, there is still that little bit of affection back then, and then there is still a little freshness.
But after a long time, the contradiction between the two of you will inevitably break out, and then the chickens will fly and the eggs will be beaten and separated again.
What do you get when that time comes?
You won't get anything but other people's resentment, and your own anger.
In that case, why do you continue to hang the tree of your stupid uncle?
With your current net worth and your temperament, what kind of talent can't you find?
Even if you don't find a man, you'll be doing well.
Others may not understand these things, but I think you, Aunt Lou, must have understood it a long time ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the mainland long ago, but he wouldn't have gone to find a stupid uncle for a long time.
Now that you can see it, why bother to provoke Uncle Silly's family?
Could it be that it was just out of revenge?
But if you want to take revenge, you shouldn't take revenge on your stupid uncle?
After all, it was a stupid uncle who saved your family back then.
Isn't it bad that you're coming back now to take revenge on Uncle Silly? ”
was asked by Cao Zhiqiang, and Lou Xiao'e was speechless for a while.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang's words have been held in his heart for a long time, and he has wanted to say them for a long time, but he only has the opportunity to say them today.
In fact, earlier, Cao Zhiqiang really wanted to take advantage of the relationship between Silly Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, after all, he looked down on Qin Huairu at that time, and he hated stick terriers even more.
Under the hatred of the house and the black, Cao Zhiqiang thought about simply breaking up the stupid pillar and Qin Huairu, and let the stupid pillar be good with Lou Xiao'e.
As for whether Silly Zhu can last long and be happy after getting along with Lou Xiao'e, it's none of his business.
However, with the passage of time, as Cao Zhiqiang's net worth and wealth increased, of course, as his vision became broader and broader, and there were more and more women around him, Cao Zhiqiang's mentality slowly changed.
To put it simply, Cao Zhiqiang's current perspective is no longer in that courtyard, so he has long been unable to look at all the things in the courtyard.
In this state of mind, whether it was the stick stalk back then, or Qin Huairu, Cao Zhiqiang didn't have any thoughts for a long time, or rather, he didn't care about it for a long time.
Strictly speaking, this is a sublimated detachment.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang asked himself and felt that he still had to be kind to Silly Zhu.
After all, no matter what, if it wasn't for the help of Silly Zhu back then, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with the big leader so early.
If he hadn't been on the line with that Uncle Xu early and won Uncle Xu's favor and support, Cao Zhiqiang would not have known Uncle Wang and Uncle Lin, the two real important ministers of the country, and Secretary Dong and Director Li in the factory would not be so supportive of themselves.
If it weren't for the support of these big figures, Cao Zhiqiang would not have been able to contract a publishing house at all, and he would not have had those later encounters, let alone go abroad.
After all, in this period, personal power is limited, many things are restricted, and it is not that you can do whatever you want if you are talented.
But it is precisely because of the support of big people, coupled with the spring breeze of reform and reopening, and just in time for the rectification of enterprises, that Cao Zhiqiang can take advantage of the wind and start a number of companies and expand many businesses.
In less than a year, Cao Zhiqiang has used the skin of Hongguang Machinery Factory to set up his own publishing house, magazine, audio-visual agency, film factory, department store, transportation company, and so on.
Cao Zhiqiang's business not only saved the Hongguang Machinery Factory, which was on the verge of completion, but also made himself the richest man in China.
That's right, although it hasn't been specifically investigated, but judging from the current situation, if only private wealth is counted, I am afraid that Cao Zhiqiang is indeed worthy of the reputation of China's richest man.
After all, there is no one in the country who can have such an opportunity as Cao Zhiqiang and so much private wealth as Cao Zhiqiang.
Although these things, in terms of Cao Zhiqiang's ability, can be obtained sooner or later, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the help of Silly Zhu that Cao Zhiqiang got these earlier.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang slowly thought about it, and felt that it was better not to disturb the life of the stupid pillar.
It doesn't matter if Qin Huairu is a vampire or not, it's enough for Silly Zhu to enjoy it.
Others think that the stupid pillar suffers, but who knows if the stupid pillar is really at a loss?
Silly Zhu is not really stupid, he is more shrewd than anyone else.
Now it seems that in fact, Silly Zhu liked Qin Huairu from the beginning, but in the early days, due to various factors, he couldn't be with her.
Later, due to fate, Silly Zhu finally got together with Lou Xiao'e, and then everyone lived a beautiful life, and there was nothing unhappy.
Lou Xiao'e is the only threat between Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu.
If Lou Xiao'e really wants to break them up, I'm afraid things will be quite difficult.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to take this opportunity to ask Lou Xiao'e about her sincerity and find out what Lou Xiao'e wanted to do.
This is not only for the good of the stupid pillar, but also for yourself.
After all, it is impossible for Cao Zhiqiang to cooperate with someone who puts his feelings above his career.
This kind of person who is more emotional than rational, looks good, but in fact it is a time bomb, and he doesn't know when it will explode.
If you really want to find someone to work with, it's better to be the kind of person who is completely dominated by reason.
This is also why when Cao Zhiqiang develops his own people, the first choice is Zhu Lin, not other women.
The reason is that Zhu Lin is a real rational ruler, and Cao Zhiqiang is more at ease with such a person! (End of chapter)
